Publisher Description
A brand new full cast audiobook production of the classic collaboration from internationally bestselling authors Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett starring Rebecca Front as the Narrator, Michael Sheen as Aziraphale, and David Tennant as Crowley!
""Good Omens . . . is something like what would have happened if Thomas Pynchon, Tom Robbins and Don DeLillo had collaborated. Lots of literary inventiveness in the plotting and chunks of very good writing and characterization. It’s a wow. It would make one hell of a movie. Or a heavenly one. Take your pick.""—Washington Post
According to The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch (the world's only completely accurate book of prophecies, written in 1655, before she exploded), the world will end on a Saturday. Next Saturday, in fact. Just before dinner.
So the armies of Good and Evil are amassing, Atlantis is rising, frogs are falling, tempers are flaring. Everything appears to be going according to Divine Plan. Except a somewhat fussy angel and a fast-living demon—both of whom have lived amongst Earth's mortals since The Beginning and have grown rather fond of the lifestyle—are not actually looking forward to the coming Rapture.
And someone seems to have misplaced the Antichrist . . .
Don’t miss Season 2 of the Prime original series!

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett’s 1990 cult fantasy classic is laugh-out-loud funny and packed with quirky British humor that will delight fans of Monty Python and Douglas Adams. Crowley the demon and Aziraphale the angel are unlikely friends who’ve been charged with keeping an eye on the baby Antichrist, but due to a mix-up at the hospital, they’ve been following the wrong kid for the last 10 years. (Plus, the end of the world may be nigh!) Rebecca Front narrates the fantastically chaotic tale, nailing the subtle irony and riotous quips, while actors Michael Sheen and David Tennant reprise their lead roles from the acclaimed miniseries adaptation. The three main narrators are joined by a whole troupe of talented performers, who all bring their own eccentricities to the hilarious cast of supporting characters. Good Omens is a wild, witty, and naughty listen.
Customer Reviews
Fantastic read
Never a dull moment, wonderfully written
Bro, they’re literally husbands. 😍🥰
I really liked the show on prime, so I thought I’d give the book a try. Oh 👏My 👏 Actual 👏 God 👏. This book is the best; I love how they have the original cast, and every single time Crowley and Aziraphle even talked to each other I grinned and giggled. They’re so cute. Oh and the other characters are great too!
10/10, five stars, perfect audio book.
